After Chapter 161, even the dogs in the brigade had to avoid Yun, the educated youth.

When he was exposed in public, Qian Xiaopang's face turned bright red instantly, seemingly ashamed and angry. But when he thought about being sent to a labor camp, his face gradually turned pale. He stammered and tried to defend himself, but with Wang Yang as a precedent, he didn't dare to say anything in the end.

He was filled with regret, wishing he hadn't been so greedy for those things.

Zhou Hu and Huang Yu had no other choice but to look pleadingly at the captain.

Liu Baogen: ...What bad luck!

He was so worried that his head was throbbing. With a pained expression, he asked, "Yun, if this gets out, their lives will be ruined. It won't be good for your reputation either, since you were also an educated youth. How about... how about you give them a chance to make amends? Have them write a self-criticism, a guarantee, apologize, and even offer compensation? Is that alright?"

At this point, Liu Baogen felt even more bitter. Logically, these were the lines spoken by the educated youth, so why was he the one saying them now?

It seems that their positions have been reversed since Yun Zhiqing arrived.

Yun Wangshu hesitated for a moment, his brows furrowed, and he gave Liu Baogen a deep look. Under Liu Baogen's tense gaze, he finally nodded: "Captain, you know I have a strong sense of justice and I would never compromise with anyone else. No matter who it is, if they do something illegal or disorderly, I will definitely arrest them!"

"But since you, Captain, have spoken, I'll let them off this time. They must write a self-criticism, issue a public apology, and compensate me for my losses. There are some things they used that I don't want anymore, so they must pay for them and return the receipts!"

Liu Baogen's lips twitched violently. What did he know? He knew nothing!

However, he was relieved that Yun Wangshu had agreed. As for giving him face as the brigade leader, he could only listen to it and forget about it. He was worried that Yun Wangshu would beat the gossipy old women in his brigade to death when they got into a fight.

When he got back, he told the villagers that from now on, all the dogs in the brigade should avoid Yun Zhiqing!

The educated youth breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, they wouldn't have to go to the labor camp. In those few seconds, their backs were soaked with sweat. They vowed never to offend this woman again—she was terrifying!

Yun Wangshu had no intention of reporting to the police. If she sent all the educated youth away on her first day, the commune and the educated youth office would be furious with her. Ten banners wouldn't help. Maybe she could even be reported as a model, but she didn't want to make a scene.

Her tough stance was to completely sever ties with the educated youth, so that the whole world would know they were enemies, and that if the educated youth caused any trouble in the future, the brigade would not involve her.

In Yunyi's memory, the educated youth settlement was a theater, with different plays every day, and she didn't want to get involved at all.

The matter was finally resolved. Liu Baogen wiped the sweat from his brow. Poor guy, he was still sweating even in November. It was all the fault of those short-sighted educated youths. Of all people to steal from, they had to steal from Yun. She wasn't even afraid of spies, so why wouldn't she be afraid of a few educated youths?

They have connections in the county!

Liu Baogen glared angrily at the people at the educated youth settlement and said, "Every single one of you has to write a self-criticism and return everything you stole to Yun. If Yun doesn't want it, you'll have to pay her. Also, go and pry the pot off right now. Did Yun not want to use it herself? Give Yun one yuan each as compensation for using the pot. You can settle the rest with Yun yourselves!"

No one dared to object; they all went back to get the money. Zhou Hu and Fang Peng went to pry open the pot, but only Qian Xiaopang showed some loyalty and remembered to nip Wang Yang in the bud.

Seeing that Wang Yang had woken up groggily, Qian Xiaopang quickly pulled him into the male educated youth's room. After whispering something to each other, Wang Yang, who had lost his backbone, obediently gave him one yuan when they came out.
